Dona Flor And Her Two Husbands
(Jorge Amado)
Here's a twist for me, I saw the video of Dona Flor before I ever heard of this author or read this book. I got a big kick out of it, even though it seemed on the low tech side of filmmaking. Naturally when I later discovered this writer (through Shepherds of the Night) I was more impressed with the book than the movie. (Like who's surprised by that?)
Dona Flor, a cooking instructor, finds herself widowed after her roguish husband drops dead at Carnival. For her second marriage she finds a nice man with a good job as a pharmacist. But as content as she is to be with such a considerate husband, she longs for her first husband's sensual pleasures - so powerful this longing that he comes back as a ghost making an interesting menage a trois. It's a good humored story.
